Review: Kathy's brother, Brett, died when she was two. All she knows is that her family talks about him all the time and it's something she wasn't part of and has no memory of. When Kathy turned sixteen (same age Brett was when he died), she was given a gift from Brett -- he left her a journal. Finally, she is able to learn about this young man and brother she never knew. She is able to realize the amazing example he was and why everyone loved him.
At the same time, she is asked to tutor the popular kid in school, the quarterback. On top of all these other strikes against him he was also a Mormon. The two stories are woven together for a wonderful coming of age story of a teenage girl.
